Not illustrated. 1875 Excerpt: ...position that the ex-Premier ever undertook to defend--far more important to him in his Christian character than Land Bills or Education Bills--a position so aggressive, that if he fails in supporting it, nothing short of the reprobation of all truly Christian men must await him. He renews the statement of his proposition, having first changed "surrenders" into "forfeits," as a more correct expression, and proposes to place the mattei in as clear a light as possible. We cannot hope much from the clear light of Mr. Gladstone. He wants to establish that the Pope's Infallibility was not a matter of Catholic belief forty-five years ago; that obedience to the Pope did not then trench upon allegiance to the Sovereign; that Catholics did not then believe in the deposing power of the Pope, " with all its revolting consequences," or hold that they were not bound to keep faith with heretics; and his way of establishing all these, is to lead us through a lengthy, and, here and there, broken narrative of the precautions taken by British statesmen of fifty to forty years since, before they could be satisfied as to xhe safety and expediency of repealing certain "pettifogging, base, and cruel laws," up to that time in force against Catholics. He did not need, to take all this trouble. We would have granted him all that, he wanted for the asking. There was no necessity for making a fuss about the satisfactory nature of the answers obtained for the Select Committee of 1816, 1817, or that of 1824, 1825. In all that is substantial in the questions, the same answers would have been obtained in 1874, 1875, with the sole exception, that Papal Infallibility, which was at that time only a general opinion with the Church, has since been defin...

Seller's Description:
Disbound. 113p. Pages in very good condition. Excerpt: "On the 4th November, 1874, Mr. Gladstone, late Prime Minister, published and addressed to his Roman Catholic fellow-countrymen an "Expostulation on the Decrees of the Vatican Council in their bearing on Civil Allegiance." We must adopt the title 'Expostulation, ' as its author has chosen it, but the work is not in the least an Expostulation. Its proper title would be something of this kind-"Animadversions on the Faith of Roman Catholics, since the Vatican Council, in which it is shown: 1, that no Catholic can be loyal; 2, that no man can become a Roman Catholic and retain possession of his mental and moral freedom; 3, that Catholic teaching is irreconcilable with past history and modern progress; 4, that the Catholic religion is to be tolerated only under satisfactory guarantees and explanations. It is now the middle of January, 1875, and amongst Catholics the Expostulation has been favorably responded to by only four."
